Matthew Smith, of Manic Miner and Jetset Willy fame.
Met him at some games festival in Nottingham last year. He's the scruffiest person alive, he looks like he's never ever shaved and has severe problems with bodily odour.

I asked him for his autograph and he was eating a pizza at the time. Instead of a napkin, he just wiped his messy pizza-fingers down the front of his clothes, the dirty bastard.

But - apart from that he turned out to be a bloody nice chap, so I wasn't that disappointed. We got into a discussion about how awful Commodore 64 Basic was - and he was sticking up for it the fool!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and at the end of the festival there was a video-games quiz and Matthew's team won. Their prize? A fucking Spectrum! I ask you!
